How did you guys convince your users to use Open Office? Didn't they
complain like hell??????? I was thinking about doing that where I work, but
Im sure Id have to listen to a lot of things! : (
Chris, Cant you just use open office and save as a word document???

Eduardo

*grinding teeth* I did at least one 25 mile hike a month, and lots of 10's
and 15's.

We're using Open Office here, the new 1.1 version is sweet, you can export
to pdf format. The only time we use MS Office any more is when we're
sending documents back and forth with a client, it's being edited at both
ends, and they use MS Office.

The email part is easy to replace, in fact I'd argue that the open source
stuff is LOTS better in this aspect, especially when it comes to things like
fighting spam. My open source email server project should go online in Jan
or Feb, and its SWEET! For the calendaring and meeting aspects I have to
agree with you. Fortunately no one here was addicted to that yet so they
don't know what they're missing. Things like phpgroupware and such are
nice, but aren't as good as Exchange as of yet. Some things are worth
paying for like Norton Corporate Anti-Virus, for everything else I'm going
with the open source stuff. (One more software vendor to go, and I migrate
about 70% of the desktops from win2kpro to Mandrake Linux)
